Bitch. This bitch does not deserve a single iota of admiration he gets

He TrEaTeD SiTA wITh ReSpECt He tried to rape his daughter-in-law who cursed him that if he does anything to any woman without her consent he will die instantly. He was told by Brahma that if Kumbhakarna is forced to wake up he will die. But he chose to have Kumbha woken up rather than apologise to Rama and Sita.

He toyed with the natural order of the universe and prevented the sun from rising and setting.

He WaS a DevOuT ShIv BhAkT Well Shiva was the easiest to placate and Raavan chose him for that reason. Raavan’s praise of Shiva is out of fear that Shiva will see how shitty Raavan is and kill him. Raavan tried to accoste Parvati. He tried to uproot kailash. Shiva got angry and so did Parvati however Raavan’s whimpering pathetic desperate ass praised them heavily and expressed regret so they let him go

Raavan is a misogynistic pig, arrogant and a fascist. Everything people claim Rama is. Again north vs south politics enter here and so does caste. Thus Raavan is glorified as some bastion of virtue.

he kidnapped Sita first to avenge his sister (who btw sexually harassed Rama) but later lusted for her.

He is a foil for Rama. Rama does every action based on dharma i.e for the greater good. Raavan for his own pleasure.
